Good late game SCs?

Ice Devils and Arch Devils are nice enough to solo, and there's a few of each, if you want to dabble in blood.

Wish for seraph, gift of reason him; perhaps the best SC possible.
Pray that you dont play against micltan, because then your mighty SC will miserably lose to mere blood hunters with Leech or Life for Life. Did I mention Mictlan is... slightly higher than life?

Other chassis that I have used are Tree Lords, Tarrasque and abominations. The last two only have 2 slots, but they have plenty of hit points. And I believe all 3 are not unit limited. I've used them because I could get them.

Basically, you need to make use of the highest hit point units that you can obtain. They all work. Some are better, but all can be killed somehow. Wish obtained Seraphs are great, but very expensive and if you don't have access to 2W1N (?) mages, clam spamming is not viable and Wish all but out of the question. Arcane nexus fills the bill, but it has the same problems getting to as Wish.

I think the cheapest SC's obtainable are Tartarians, if you have death.

Wish for a giant pretender works good. If you can afford it you can empower your monster at 50 gems for his/her first time (empower in air for cloud trapeze and mistform/mirror image).

Clams are 3W1N
With conjuration 6, Jade sorceress can craft bracelet (W1 needed) and a robe (W2). Also, there are amber clan tritons with water and nature paths. Normally, Seraph costs 120 astral, so 100 astral and 40? Nature isnt too expensive in comparison.

@Edratman how do you use Tree Lords ???

vfb · #7 December 3rd, 2007, 12:05 PM

Don't summon a treelord in wasteland like I did once

!

I thought I was getting a bargain at a 50% off site. Well, I did pay less than full price, but immobility was a wee bit of a limiting factor.

Via stupidity mostly. I had to empower in one air, air helmet him then cloud trapeze because I was unaware of his limitations. Worked in SP. Probably not the best choice, but it worked. Took several provinces all alone before getting red hearts.

I was playing Caleum (MA?) for the only time. I did not like anything about them. Very limited magic options. Couldn't summon squat. I think I picked up the treelords via enchantress site. IIRC I had to use empower more as Caleum than I have for everyone else added up (very minor exaggeration).
